Quoting Gergely Karácsony, Vasárnap.hu asks this in his title in connection with the fact that the proven good-for-nothing mayor announced his social program by saying that in 2021, in Hungary, in the middle of Europe, four out of ten children will still go to school hungry every day! What is this if not evil?” In addition, "for the sake of the weaker", he even added that even one day of starvation for just one child is too much for him.

We quote from the article.
You didn't link the source of your figure, which is unfortunate, because even after the most well-meaning research, I only managed to find a few previous newspaper articles, in which dieticians say that one-third of elementary school students and half of teenagers go to school without breakfast. However, "children usually refer to lack of time or lack of hunger," the experts add in the same articles. So 40 percent may be roughly correct, but it usually has nothing to do with the families' financial situation.

For the most part, it is a question (at the international level, even in Austria, especially in the former socialist countries) that the mother and father set a bad example, there are no meals together, there is a rush, or simply the adolescent child declares that they should leave him alone, he prefers he takes a nap for an extra ten minutes, then at most he eats something in the buffet with his friends (quote from a nephew of mine, i.e. even in the best families).

I don't even know which explanation I want more: is it that Gergely Karácsony, as a graduate sociologist and former university lecturer, is consciously trying to mislead the voters on a sociological issue, using the most shameless method of slippage as a worthy competitor to Klára Dobrev, envisioning at least four million extreme poor, or rather that -whether Gergely Karácsony (a graduate sociologist and former university lecturer
) is not aware that he is spreading fake news on a sociological topic.

Of course, I suspect that the first explanation is the more likely, and that Puzsér's axiom I holds ("Gergely Kárácsony is lying, and you can tell that he is lying by the fact that his mouth is moving", and in this case, his finger on the keyboard), but - people shudder when they are seen as stupid to such an extent.(...)

But fine, let's assume that 40 percent of the schoolchildren really wouldn't have anything to eat, and Gergely Karácsony really has a lot of hunger for just one child. In this case, we have to start from the fact that the children of Budapest would also be affected, who would go to school with a rumbling stomach due to the fault of the evil government.

Well, if Gergely Karácsony fulfilled his promise only in their case and made public transportation free only for them, it would save the family HUF 3,450 per month for each of these children. Whichever way I calculate, this would yield 156.8 buns, 50 rye-seeded biscuits or 34.8 cocoa snails per month, i.e. enough for every morning.

Managing the amount would not necessarily be a problem either: at the end of 2020, which was hit by Covid, the mayor's chief of staff, for example, received a year-end bonus of 1.2 million forints from the socially hypersensitive Gergely Karácsony. And if the budget of Benedek Jávor's anti-government lobbying office in Brussels were reduced to the previous amount, HUF 74.9 million would be freed up a year, which would be enough to finance the daily breakfast of 1,026 children in Budapest.

Or perhaps (really only on a trial basis) the commitment could be kept
that "at least the 20,000 most needy households in Budapest will receive at least HUF 20,000 per year in utility subsidies" - just in case one or two of those 20,000 children would be fed.

Compared to these, Karácsony raised the price of public meals by 10 percent in the capital's nurseries and kindergartens.
